I’ve stood in over a hundred beautifully styled rooms. Rooms where every detail has been carefully considered. From the napkin colour, the font on the place cards, the chairs swapped out because those ones didn’t quite fit the vision. I’ve watched couples overthink their linen colours and panic about whether their tables feel “finished enough.” And yet some of the most meaningful weddings I’ve ever photographed looked nothing like what the internet told them they should be.

One of the biggest challenges couples face when using Pinterest for wedding planning is the disconnect between what’s on the screen and what’s actually feasible. It’s easy to get caught up in chasing a perfect aesthetic, only to realize that some elements just won’t work in the real world. In this post, I’ll share why Pinterest is such a powerful platform for wedding ideas and trends, but also why it’s important to stay grounded in reality when it comes to your own wedding day:

One of the most beautiful things about planning a wedding today is the freedom to make it entirely your own. As a Saskatoon wedding photographer, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand how personalizing traditions—or skipping them altogether—can transform a wedding day into something deeply meaningful and joy-filled. Whatever your vision for the day is, know that you don’t have to follow any rules or check off every tradition to make it happen.

For couples who want a celebration that feels more personalized and stress-free, a wedding weekend is the perfect option. Not only does it provide more quality time with your closest family and friends, but it also enhances the guest experience, making your wedding day unforgettable.
